Cottbus is growing!
But it has to grow for everyone!

Nadeem Manjouneh

About me

My name is Nadeem Manjouneh, and I have been elected to the City Council of Cottbus in 2024. Born in Aleppo, Syria, and having become a new citizen of Germany, I have experienced the journey of integration firsthand. This experience has taught me that true integration means not just being physically present in a community, but also playing an active and valued role in it.

Since 2018, I have worked in migration social work, where I experience the challenges and successes of migrants every day. My work has shown me that migration is not only a challenge but also an enrichment for our society. I am fluent in German, English, and Arabic, and I also have knowledge of Turkish, French, and Japanese, which helps me build bridges between different cultures.

As the chairperson of an association that supports students and is active in the subculture, I have seen how important it is to give a voice to all members of our community. I have personally experienced racism, but it has not deterred me from integrating and fulfilling my role as a citizen.

My main goal for the parliamentary group Bündnis 90/Die Grünen/SUB is to promote an inclusive politics that includes all residents of Cottbus. I want us to work together as a community to ensure that everyone – regardless of their origin – has the opportunity to grow, learn, and contribute. I stand for a politics that speaks with the people, not about them, and that makes decisions together – not unilaterally.

I ask for your support to create a city where everyone feels valued and where diversity is seen as our greatest strength.
